「……Good morning, Demon King-sama.」

A voice that was slow……yet had a definite weight to it called out to the person on the throne.

「……」

The one who had fallen asleep on the throne was their king.

The four subordinates who were loyal to their king awaited the words of their king who slowly opened their eyes.

「……I saw, a dream.」

There was no one that interrupted the king’s words.

The king gazed with an absent minded face at the subordinates who simply hung their heads as they awaited the continuation of the king’s words, and spun out words while still in a daze.

「It was a dream, where we destroyed the world, and spared no one……」

That’s right, that was a dream.

Instigating the fears of all of mankind──

Conspiring the dissension of all of mankind──

Crumbling the connections of mankind’s hearts──

Universally destroying mankind’s nations──

It was a dream where everything was destroyed like that.

However, that was not a mere dream.

The plan was already being implemented.

Under the name of Demon King, they first started with the destruction of the St. Altlis Kingdom.

Taking a long, long time, it reached a stage where it would be impossible to repair it.

Not even mankind itself was conscious of the fact that it had been destroyed.

It’s because it was a plan from so long ago that even the Demon King himself had completely forgotten about it.

「……Demon King-sama. Is it not a good time now -degozaimasu ga?」

「For what.」

「For mankind’s destruction……-degozaimasu.」

「Fumu……」

Hearing those words, the Demon King slowly started turning his thoughts.

First, about where……this place was.

The throne he was sitting on.

And then, this reception hall.

The distorted and richly colored scenery, which spread out outside the window.

Turning his consciousness to the nooks and crannies of the castle, the Demon King recalled.

That’s right, this place was a 『Dimensional Gap』.

It was land in the next world that was detached from the world.

This place, was the Demon King Castle.

The castle of the Mazoku, who were invading the world.

Well then, who were these people.

The Demon King gazed at the four loyal subordinates that were before him.

Red, blue, black, and white.

They were four colored knights that wore strange-looking armor.

The Demon King remembered.

They were his strongest loyal subordinates.

The Red Knight.

The Blue Knight.

The Black Knight.

The White Knight.

Finally, about who the Demon King himself was.

「……My four loyal knights.」

「Yes, Demon King-sama.」

「……Just who am I?」

Hearing that question, the four knights trembled with deep emotion.

They were given a chance express how they felt about their magnificent Demon King.

「Our King, our magnificent King.」

First, the Red Knight sung his praise with a gallant voice.

「You are the one who governs over fear and dissension. You are the father of all evil.」
